Chapter 259 It’s Too Cold, Let’s Get Together

With a bang, a harsh fire flashed through the living room, and it suddenly fell into darkness.

"Um?"

"There's another power outage!"

Insufficient power supply is the norm during the Konoha New Year Festival, and living in a slightly peripheral area of ​​the village always faces the risk of power outages.

"What should we do?"

"Then we can only squeeze in the sleep," he said.

"No!" Ino immediately shook her head. She stood up in the darkness and could only roughly determine Naruto's position. It took a while for her eyes to adapt to the darkness.

Today is different from the past. As her body grows rapidly, she becomes more and more sensitive to that kind of thing. Occasionally, her mother would impart some knowledge to her, which would always make her blush.

It is said that the ignorant are fearless, but the more they know, the more cautious they become.

"Are you going back?" His voice came from the darkness. She heard it clearly. It was just a simple inquiry.

Ino saw him standing up and leaning towards her, and his body suddenly became stiff.

Relying on his familiarity with the location of the living room, Naruto stood in front of Ino effortlessly. A hand pulled her arm and said.

"Where did you put your coat?"

"On the coat rack." Her voice changed slightly.

"Um."

When he said yes, Ino's back trembled, as if a nerve had been triggered. Naruto had slowly left, seemingly heading towards the coat rack in the dark.

After about a while, Naruto turned back and bumped into something in the process.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"It's okay, I knocked a little bit," he said.

Immediately, Ino felt a thick winter cotton jacket wrapped around her body, and Naruto's deep voice sounded in her ears.

"I'll take you to the entrance to change your shoes now."

"Okay." The word was almost squeezed out of Ino's throat. When she heard her trembling voice in the darkness, she was immediately startled and her face turned red.

Fortunately, she couldn't see clearly due to the power outage, and she breathed a small sigh of relief. But Naruto had already reached out to grab her hand, and in a moment of panic, she accidentally inserted her hand into his clothes.

The moment she touched her abdomen, she suddenly realized something was wrong and pulled her hand out with a cry.

In the darkness, Naruto laughed dryly.

"Are you touching ***?"

"I didn't!" Ino denied out loud. She wanted to be angry but couldn't get angry at all. Her cheeks were red but she was afraid of being seen clearly. "I didn't!"

"Okay, you didn't." Naruto smiled and grabbed her hand like a child, "I'll take you to the entrance to change your shoes, and then take you back."

He didn't try any other way to let Ino stay the night, now and then. When a girl realizes the change, avoiding suspicion is not a bad thing.

This is not an alienation from the relationship, but a further confirmation of self-conscious emotions. A hug at the age of twelve and a hug at the age of sixteen are not the same concept. The latter is often much more complicated.

In the darkness, Ino was led forward, her heart pounding. Suddenly, a sense of taboo arose in my heart, as if I had secretly tasted some forbidden fruit.

At the same time, she also realized that although Naruto looked thin, he had grown into a man. The abdomen and back have everything they should have, wide and tight, as if carved with a knife or an axe.

Naruto held her tightly, her palms became sweaty, and the hot breath next to her made her a little confused. Just when she felt a little unbearable, the entrance hall arrived.

The door was opened, cold wind suddenly poured in, and Ino suddenly woke up.

"Are you coming back?" she asked suddenly.

"Huh? What?" Naruto just opened the door and turned around to ask. The cold wind blew through his ears and he couldn't hear her words clearly.

"No...it's nothing." She stammered, closing the door first, "Let's go first."

The entire Konoha was shrouded in silvery white snow. The two of them braved the cold wind and breathed white air all the way to the mountain flower shop. Naruto's ears were red from the cold and he waved to her.

"You go upstairs early, I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute." Ino called him in a low voice, "Will it be cold if you go back like this?"

"No way." Naruto said with some uncertainty, looking at Ino doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

"Would you... come up here for a while and go back tomorrow... tomorrow?" Ino stood at the door of the flower shop, under the dim light, her face redder than roses.

"Anyway...my parents aren't here anyway."

After Naruto thought briefly, he abandoned his reason without hesitation. litchi? Ino doesn't want lychees anymore, so what's the use of keeping them for herself?

"OK."

The tired voice reached her ears, and her rationality suddenly collapsed. With her heart pounding, Ino suddenly realized that this was her own home, just in case her father came back and bumped into her tomorrow morning.

She was thinking this in her mind, but when she regained consciousness, she had already put on an apron and stood in the kitchen.

Broken?

She thought about it carefully and found that it was not the case. She went upstairs with Naruto, turned on the light and asked him to stay in the living room for a while, while she hid in the kitchen on the pretext of cooking some midnight snacks.

Looking at the boiling water in the pot, Inoya had only one thought in his mind.

crazy!

He really brought Naruto home, what if... After a mental struggle, the water in the pot was almost boiling dry, and Ino calmed down.

Calm down, it's New Year's Day, no one will notice it so late. My father usually doesn't come back until lunch time, so it would be better to let him go out early.

As for my mother, she won't be able to come back for two or three days.

I took him in just because it was too late and it was snowing again. It would be too rude to let him go back alone in the cold wind, um, yes, etiquette.

Naruto subconsciously lay on the sofa, feeling a little nervous, and suddenly realized that this was not his home. He immediately sat upright and simply maintained that posture honestly.

Even though his uncle and aunt are not here, he still has a sense of proportion.

Ten minutes later.

"Why does your late night snack look like pot water?" Naruto asked helplessly, looking at the soup with the sauce floating around.

"I was so nervous that I accidentally messed it up." Ino covered her face and said, "Are you hungry? Let me make another one."

"No, I'm not hungry." He refused.

Soon, the kitchen was cleared. Ino sat down next to the edge of the sofa and said nervously.

"sorry, I......"

"fine."

The atmosphere was tense, and both of them were a little restrained. Even with Naruto's indifferent character, he couldn't relax. He saw Ino's fingers tangled together, and his eyelids suddenly jumped.

She thought that she was also nervous, but why did this ordinary night seem like a wedding bridal chamber.

The sofa in the living room is a small world. The lights are bright, and the boy and girl are alone in a room. It was quiet all around, and any sound would make the two of them particularly sensitive.

Suddenly, Ino stood up. She felt that as the host, she needed to break the ice and say something.

"If nothing happens, go to sleep."

"ah?"

"No!" Ino covered her mouth. Damn it, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to say something wrong. "I meant to rest together, bah! No... it was to rest separately."

She gestured with her hands for a long time, and was so anxious that she couldn't say a word.

Naruto couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up and asked.

"Where's the bathroom? I'll take a shower first."

"Huh?" Ino looked at him, his eyes widened, looking shocked.

He was a little calmer, spread his hands and said, "I'm not used to sleeping without a shower. Even if I'm sleeping on the sofa, I'll take a shower."

"Oh." Ino pointed to a room, "That's it."

"I'll get you a bath towel." She said, but halfway through, she suddenly realized that the store never stayed overnight guests, and the guests were all from the mountain clan.

In the clan land.

So.......no spare clean bath towels.

After struggling for a long time, she clutched her pink bath towel and paced back and forth in the living room. Bath towels are very personal and she needs to use them after a while.

The moment Naruto came out of the shower, he saw Ino holding the towel and muttering to herself, and was stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing?"

Ino was also startled and saw that Naruto had already finished washing, and was probably drying himself in the warm air. She breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head and ran into the bathroom.

At night.

The temperature on the snowy night began to drop significantly, and the living room suddenly became a bit cold. There were only three rooms on the second floor, one for Ino and one for her parents.

What remains is a floral utility room without a bed.

Naruto did not put Ino in trouble and directly chose to sleep on the sofa. Only in the second half of the night, even when covered with a quilt, I could feel the surrounding temperature dropping, but it wasn't too cold.

With a kacha sound, Ino's door opened a crack. The light in the room leaked out like a thread, and a dim light shone on the corner of the sofa.

Ino showed an eye at the crack of the door, and said hesitantly without looking at him.

"There's no heating in the living room, it's too cold...just come in together."

"Ah?" Naruto was a little confused about the situation and asked as if he was unsure, "What did you say?"

But Ino had already opened the door, dressed well, and said to him seriously.

"Come in."

In the room, under bright lights.

Looking at Ino who was wrapped in three layers, Naruto suddenly wanted to laugh.

"You don't need to cover yourself with a quilt when you're dressed like this, right?"

"Yes!" Ino said angrily.

Then, she pointed fiercely to the other side and said, "Sleep over there and don't cross the boundary. If you cross the boundary, I'll punch you."

"Anyway...I have a clear conscience anyway, and I can't watch you freeze to death."
